Description
The Begonia acida, commonly known as 'Little White Fairy,' is a delightful addition to shaded or indoor areas, bringing a refined elegance with its small, evergreen leaves. This species originates from Central and South America, and it is well-suited to indoor pots or sheltered garden beds, where it adds a touch of soft green charm year-round. With its low-growing, compact form, 'Little White Fairy' provides a gentle aesthetic ideal for creating layered texture in shaded spots.
This begonia prefers bright, indirect light or part shade, thriving in well-draining, moisture-retentive soil. It requires moderate watering, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings, but avoid letting it become soggy. During Kambarang (Late Spring) to Birak (Early Summer), 'Little White Fairy' may also produce small, delicate white flowers that enhance its fairy-like appearance, making it an enchanting choice for indoor settings or protected outdoor locations.
